Dr. Tom Webster and Dr. Tammy Horn Potter will be hosting a fall session at the Kentucky State University Farm on Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025, from 1-3 p.m. (ET).  The topic is selection for queen breeding for 2026 season, and we will be demonstrating the Optera “hygienic behavior” testing kit on KSU hives.  Please RSVP to tamara.potter@kysu.edu, by Oct. 7 and plan on bringing your own bee jacket and veil.  This is a “rain or shine” event since the Benson building has also been reserved.

This event is KQBBA members-only.  If you would like to become a member, please contact Micka Ueland, Treasurer, at this address: mpueland@yahoo.com
